Hi,
Been on here before and managed to stop for over a year but the gambling crept back in and before I know it a £5 bet is a £1500 bet to win my money back. It’s not about winning or losing I know, it fills a void and I know it’s self-destructive. I have blocks in place now and know I can stop for a bit, it’s the fact of knowing I can’t gamble again. I can’t control myself and it’s an awful feeling as you all know, i’m suffering a bit with depression through secondary causes of the gambling as my impulse control is poor. I have people supporting me but feel half the person I was and am determined to stop for good and be stronger for it. Just a struggle for now and very low.

It's demoralising admitting that you have little to no control but I'm sure you have other areas in your life where you excel.
And the fact that you've come back on here for support is testimony to your foresight and resilience.Â
There are positives to take from your post you know ?
Let's do this! ?✊
Hi signalman,
Thanks for the kind words, hard to look at the positives all the time but your right, it does show my resilience and willing to beat this addiction. I’ll keep that in mind and will beat this!
